Champion, Lowe and Crocker all looking for new clubs

The Rabbitohs are now scrambling to free up space in their salary cap and have told Beau Champion, Ben Lowe and Michael Crocker that they will be released from the final year of their contracts should they be able to find a deal elsewhere.

The NRL wants Inglis to come under the cap at no less than $500,000 in a move that will force Souths to offload $310,000 worth of playing talent from its roster should they wish to have the Test star playing for them in 2011.

The Cowboys on the other hand have lost Brent Tate for 2011 due to injury and could use a centre of Champion’s calibre but Townsville is a long way from Redfern and it remains to be seen if Champion is eager to move, especially that far.
